Hired Two Men and Truck to move my Universal 4.60. Cost me $125. Money extremely well spent.

Joe,

I ended going to a local sign supply shop, they had a variety of tacks and will cut it to whatever width you want. I also go with the high tack, seems to stick better, especially when cutting...

Please count me in, thanks!

Upgraded to FlashCut 4 for my Sherline benchtop mill. Use Aspire for the creation of the toolpaths. Works great.

Jim,

Tube is easy, just did my VL300 this summer. 15 min job. The rest gets a bit more complex, but if you go slow, save all of the screws and remember how it all goes back together it is not too...

I need a new one desperately, please include me in this drawing. Thanks!

Thanks Tim, I understand contracts are usually as good as the paper they are written on, but want a starting point to make sure we both are on the same page, know the expectations and that there are...

Here is one I have not been asked before. Has anyone tried lasering halfway through the material and then flipping it over and lasering the exact mirror? The scenerio is that we want to laser a...

Well it finally happened, my hobby needs to pay for itself and and although I have done small jobs for friends and family, I am now looking at a much larger opportunity to do some custom work. I am...

Ask Universal for the Service Manual for your laser. I have one for my VL-300 and has come in handy multiple times. It should be a PDF.

You bet, lens and mirrors have never been so clean and everything is still aligned. Thanks for looking for a less expensive option!

Have a VersaLaser 300 with a 50W laser. Been a great work horse. But am starting to think my tube is going.

Two issues popping up

- first one. One the first run of the day it will not fire for...

count me in if I'm not too late - thanks!

Looking for suggestions on masking material for Baltic Birch.

I just finished off a couple rolls of paper masking that worked well. Stuck to the unfinished Baltic birch, but still was easy enough...

I actually had to make some for use on the VersaLaser vector table. Used the black Rowmark material that allowed me to engrave from the back. That way I can just wipe off the smooth top of the ruler...

I created one out of 1/8" baltic birch, used too much glue,looks really nice, just doesn't' move...

Count me in and thank you Michael.

This whole flammable substance thing has gotten me thinking (with tongue severely planted in check). Why am I lasering something that is listed as flammable (and I pay a hefty surcharge to have it...

Need to replenish my Cermark supply. Went to LaserBits for pricing and saw that they want a $25 HazMat surcharge. Is this usual? Short of picking it up, is there a way to avoid this surcharge? Also,...

Me as well - Thanks George and Sawmill Creek

Todd

Me too - thanks.

Tim,

Sorry to hear about your layoff. I am sitting here today while a major computer company is laying off up to 6000 people. I work for a partner so does not directly effect me, but am seeing a...

Ken - did you end up getting a Shark, if so, what are your thoughts on it? Starting to look and was set on the Buddy, but now am starting to explore other options.

Thanks,

Todd

Shaddy, join the club, I have pile of "good" baltic plywood bought at a local distributor that does not vector cut.

Issues with plywood are a couple and both have been hit here. First you need...

Steve,

I have a VL300. There is no way to get additional depth by removing the bottom of the cabinet. Between the bottom of the cabinet and the laser head there is the table that moves up and...
